Happy JULY and welcome to Thursday Favorite Things! I am thrilled to celebrate my fourth year co-hosting this fabulous weekly link party for bloggers and blog readers with Katherine of Katherine’s Corner and a fantastic group of bloggers!

If you would like to make some new friends,  grow your blog audience, or just find some weekly inspiration, this is the place to be! *Bloggers: Please leave a comment with the number of your link up for a chance to be featured at next week’s party. The hosts are all looking forward to what you’ll share this week! (If you missed the last party and the AWESOME features, you’ll find it here.)  To get the party started, here’s what I have been up to:

I just got back from a wonderful beach vacation and I am missing my beloved seaside already! I have been busy unpacking, doing laundry and tending to my garden (luckily very little loss despite the hot weather here while we were gone). I haven’t had time for a new post, but I have been gathering “Pinspiration” for a fun coastal-themed blog hop on Friday. Here is one of older posts full of gorgeous beachy and nautical inspo: Pin Away Wednesdays: Coastal Style and Beach Cottage Decor.

I hope you will stop by tomorrow to see some beautiful and refreshing coastal inspo. Maybe all the “breezy” beauty will help us all mentally beat the summer heat!
